Service and Quality is Unmatched

From the start, working with Sterling was a premium experience. I changed my vision a few times and their team was always extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the process. As a self-proclaimed foodie, the meal my guests would be having at my wedding felt like a personal reflection of me. When I tell you Sterling delivered the most memorable wedding food of all time, I seriously mean it. From passed canapes including surf n turf and philly cheesesteak waffles to a full sushi bar with bao buns and ramen stir fry, everything was impeccable. The beef filet and the seabass were huge hits during the dinner service and the passed desserts with a roaming beignet cart were was an absolute highlight. Multiple people said the wait staff was some of the best they've ever seen at a wedding and that accompanied with delicious food makes Sterling a no brainer for your wedding!

Elevated our wedding day with class and fine dining!

Working with Sterling Affair on our wedding was fantastic. Kim, Juan, and the entire staff were so accommodating to our dietary restrictions with the food, but also at times even acting as surrogate wedding coordinators for all the handling of vendors and contracts they did. All the guests raved about the food, and their baker was incredible - people texted me the next day asking who made the cake because they wanted their own! Sterling definitely threw in surprise perks for us and answered every harried bride and groom email we sent over 8 months of planning. Would definitely recommend them to anyone getting married or hosting an event.

Delightful Experience

We can't say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Sterling. The entire experience was delightful from start to finish. We were first connected to Sterling by the Newark Museum, our venue (which chose Sterling as their exclusive caterer earlier this year). We went in for a tasting at their offices in North Jersey and were immediately impressed: the food they offered us to sample was a cut above the other caterers we'd tried. In the run-up to our big day, we spoke to Sterling's staff extensively--sometimes as often as 2-3 times a day. Our principal contact was Maureen Pescatore, who is now Sterling's onsite coordinator at the Museum. Maureen was nothing short of incredible. She was extremely patient as we changed our minds over and over, while still making gentle suggestions about how to improve the flow of the evening. On the day itself, we were simply blown away: Sterling served outstanding food--truly the best wedding food we'd ever had (many of our guests said the same). Their staff were friendly and attentive. They kept time for us, ensuring that we stuck to the schedule we'd laid out. And Maureen herself checked in with us every few minutes to make sure we had enough to eat and drink. We priced out a range of different options with Sterling, but decided to go with a stations model. We're sure that Sterling would serve terrific plated food, or arrange a wonderful buffet, but their execution of the stations idea really shone. Our guests told us over and over that the wide range of food offered, combined with the superb quality, was unlike any other wedding reception experience they'd had. So to sum up, we're thrilled that we chose to work with Sterling. We'd make the same choice again in a heartbeat.
